SITREP 07: Complete Reforming

Rad — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 17:07:09 +0000

Situation

Hi there, as you guy's are much aware we have'nt been doing too well of recent.
Due to operation's being too large for the amount of people showing up, and also there has been poor moral here for a while.

In response to these issues we held a meeting with our most regular players and we have decided the following:

Rebranding

We are now known as a Mil-Sim unit rather than a Semi-Mil-Sim due to the fact some people believed we were more casual than Rad and I had in mind.

Squad Reformation

Due to the lack of turnout and also as seven man squads did'nt work out well cooperatively we have decided to break these down into small four man fire teams. This will be highly benefical as people will build a much more personal relationship with those in their teams. Learn to work together much more efficiently and a team leader does not have to manage 6 people at once only 3.
Team Leaders are now responsible for the training of their teams, the tactics the team employs and even the name of the team.

The build of the teams is as follows:

Team Leader
Rifleman
AT Specialist
Combat Life Saver

Reformation Of Ranks

As we did not feel our ranks were realistic enough and since we are spec ops, the ranks have been changed to meet this. Sergeant is now our base rank and Captain is our highest

The chain of command is as follows:

Captain
First Lieutenant
2nd Lieutenant
Sergeant Major
Master Sergeant
Staff Sergeant
Sergeant
Recruit

Operations Reformation

Operations from now on will be scaled down to small pre-made missions and also small zeus operations, to accomodate the fewer numbers and should make for a much better cooperative enviroment in the long run.

Airforce:
Removing Jets as right now it is unescessary.

Pilots are always last priority when it comes to recruitment
( We need more infantry than pilots)

Loadout Reformation

We cannot afford to allow any weapons to be taken, Rad and I will devise a list of weapons that each class can take. You still get options but it will be from a select list. This change is due to the fact that people were changing gear at the start of operations wasting everyones time. This will hopefully cut down the issue.

All members that aren't completely new are expected to have pre-made loadouts

Briefing Reformation

If you are not on time for briefing we will start without you, the reason being it holds everyone who is ready back for ages pointlessly and this is just irritating. There will be a set time for the briefing as well as a set time at which the helicopters (or other transport) take off. If you are not in a helicopter on time you will either wait for it to come back or get there on a quadbike.

These are all the changes being implemented and if you have more suggestions feel free to tell us. Hopefully we can haul the unit back from the halls of hades.

Thank you, regards

We are moving to LYTHIUM

Broken_Algorithm — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 16:14:52 +0000

Due to australia being removed from the workshop we are switching to the middle eastern map LYTHIUM http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=909547724&searchtext=lythium

SITREP 06: Upcoming Snow Op, Low turnout recently, Posible role swapping.

Rad — Sat, 30 Sep 2017 21:00:47 +0000

Operations

Recently with all the things we have going on,we've decided to take a small break from the current campaign and do a Snow operation. To do so we have picked a map and a mod to go with it. These mods are temporary and not a part of the permanent mod list, you can get them here:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=437865027&searchtext=snow+tigers
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1149372212&searchtext=arctic

After this operation we might have to cancel our campaign in Australia. The reason for this is technical issues with the mod itself as it was removed from the steam workshop.

Attendence and situation

We've always had our ups and downs as anything in life but recently we've been having some real downs. Obviously,this isnt caused by just one thing but multiple combined. One of the main reasons and most important ones is the low turnout of players. Our infantry mostly suffered from it hence we couldnt do operations as planed. To try and fix this issue we will try to focus our strenght onto recruiting new people and so should everyone who wants to see this unit prosper and grow. In the meantime we might re-arrange some roles in order to balance squads. If this does happen it will be temporary untill new recruits come to fill them.

Final words

Tomorrow ( 31/09/17 ddmmyy) at 7pm GMT we will do the snow op. While waiting to play in snow you can enjoy watching a video that Profanitizer posted recently:

Hopefully you can help us bring the unit back on its feet by bringing in some new faces.

SITREP 05: Good games, Schedule update.

Rad — Thu, 24 Aug 2017 21:33:53 +0000

Operations

Recently we had some really good operations and the last training went pretty well. We had a lot of fun on "Shadowtech" and "Bird hunt" which were recorded by our fabulous Profanitizer. We've been getting quite a good number of people on our ops even when some of our high ranking members were gone nad now we have even more members to be proud of.

You may have noticed that our last operation, "Bird hunt", didn't have and OPREP, on the countrary of what we said in our last SITREP. To clear that out, "Bird hunt" was actually supposed to be cancelled or replaced by a Zeus made op as i had to leave the town and wasnt able to create the op. In the end i actually didnt go so i managed to make an excellent op in record time and make it perfectly on schedule!

Expect to have an OPREP for the upcoming operation "Lion's Den" really soon.

Schedule update:

With our last training going pretty well, we decided to do some schedule update! Now that we have a proper training mission and most of you have proper training, we believe that there is no need for our Friday training. This is actually good for everyone because we decided to replace it with another op! From now on we are going to have 2 main operations per week!

Feel free to comment on what you think about the schedule update!

Sincerily,
-Rad

Briefing

After compliting our tour in Al Rayak, we are tasked with a new mission.Our mission is to investigate the appearence of high quality,military grade weapons in the region of Gunkizli. The region is currently ruled by local paramilitary groups that have been on NATO blacklist for some time but now with high-tech weapons and equipment they are climbing to the top of it.

More details on the operation.

Schedule

Time: 19:00, GMT

SITREP 04: Event management, Player activity.

Rad — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 20:32:17 +0000

Activity

During the past 2 weeks we have noticed a drop in activity of our members. We've noticed that besides main operations, our Unit members dont seem to play Arma 3 together at all. We would like to encourage you to play together for fun and practice. Our 24/7 server will always be available with an Invade and Annex mission or whatever else we come up with.

Operations

With all that previously said, we are introducing a new way to keep track of people and their activity. From now on every even will have an OPREP talking about it (story stuff) and with time and date. Players will now be required to comment on the OPREP wether or not they're participating. Opreps will be posted on steam (and possibly discord) 3 days in advance. Players who dont report anything will be treated as inactive. Players who do report in but cannot come will be reasonably treated as active.

Time Complaints

Broken_Algorithm — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 14:48:53 +0000

Due to Complaints about the op being too early now. And as we scheduled it @17:00 Gmt due to complaints about it being too late @19:00 Gmt. Future ops not the one today the one today will stay @17:00 Gmt . Future Ops will be held @18:00 Gmt to try and accomodate as many as possible. If you cannot maintain attendence at this time without good reason. You will be counted as "inactive" Thank you!
